Instructions
- Take 3 large fresh eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
- Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you have soft peaks and set aside.
- Meanwhile put the semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl and add the double cream and Baileys.
- Microwave at 30 second bursts until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Reserve 2-3 tbsp of the melted chocolate to drizzle over the mousse.
- Leave the rest to cool slightly and then mix in the egg yolks.
- Add a large spoonful of the whisked egg whites and mix in to the chocolate to loosen.
- Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until the mousse is smooth and streak-free.
- Pour the mousse into an assortment of small glasses or bowls – depending on the size you can get up to 8 servings. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour or until set.
- Whisk the double cream, icing sugar, Baileys and vanilla extract until you have peaks. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream over the chocolate mousses and drizzle with the reserved melted chocolate (you may need to warm it up if it has set). Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a fine dusting of cocoa powder and serve.
